I'm now about 6 weeks into owning my first Corvette, a 2007 Z51a coupe. This is at the end of 34 years of owning BMWs (I'm not through with them as I still have a '98 Z3 2.8 and a 2000 740i Sport in the garage). The Vette is an entirely different experience. Incredibly fast, eyecatching and just plain different. Also, from my point of view, it's not an expensive car to own (Here in SoCal, BMW dealers are charging $165/hr for labor) and just more fun than a basket of kittens. I've posted some pics of the new car and will be looking forward to the experience.
